BODRATO/BATTAGLIA/MASSARIA/FURIA: Bartleby the Scrivener Evil Rabbit, 2013 AVANT-JAZZ – This collective quartet out of Italy blends a tight, simpatico feel with unpredictable tunes. They stretch in multiple directions without sounding chaotic or grating, but also change from one texture/mood to another with little warning (on nearly every track). Fo’s Picks: 2, 5, 6, 7, 10 1. 5:07 – very quiet, sedate at first; falls into soft patterns w/spiky interjections 2. 12:40 – scattered droplets and trills; then moody, open space that stretches way out; 2nd half is chugging, then quietly speedy/jittery ‘til end 3. 7:57 – slow, with tender piano; quiet longing becomes a lopsided march 4. 5:18 – bass intro; prodding vs. amorphous guitar; then wide-open & weird 5. 5:32 – soft pendulum over bass drone / slow & open with scattered drums 6. 6:05 – weirdo guitar & piano; quiet drum solo; troubled quartet rumble 7. 4:40 – slow and calm, almost a ballad; piano searches, bass shadows it 8. 5:13 – lightly scattered quartet, first half steady, 2nd half slow & gauzy 9. 5:04 – dark, mysterious; slips into solo piano ache, then odd clockwork 10. 10:47 – complex rhythmic interplay at multiple tempos, fast to slow, with each section focused around a different player 11. 6:22 – slow start, bleak, ominous clock of doom, then wide open & fragile [ Fo ] - 2 January 2014 | ||
